In Resident Evil 2 you control one of 4 survivors, Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Ada Wong, or Sherry Birkin.

This game is a survival horror, not a game where you just decided to suddenly go Rambo on everything. You must choose whether to flee or fight in many different areas. Areas include RPD, Sewers, Raccoon City, RPD Jails, and Umbrella Facility.

This game also features a unique inventory system. Whenever you pick up an item it is stored in your inventory found in the bottom left. Use your herbs and first aids sparingly though, for there are a limited amount.

Using common sense is also a key factor in this game. See a computer and you have the keycard that needs to open a door? Use the keycard on the computer.

There are many special boss battles featuring William Birkin, Mr. X, the sewer crocodile, and others. The special fight system gives you the advantage of using special B.O.W traps that you must use or else have a difficult time with the boss.

I must advise that all characters are needed to some extent (except Sherry, although it'll make Claire's trip a difficult time) So make sure to have a full house each time you host.
